Anglican Peace and Justice Network - Mission Statement

Our Aims:

  • To lift up and champion the role of women, young people, indigenous communities and other marginalized groups to have full voice and representation in the official councils of the Church as a matter of justice
  • To provide a venue for Anglican provinces to bring forward issues of justice and peace in their local context giving them access to the wider Anglican Communion for partnership and joint witness
  • To provide resources for the whole Church to enable local Provinces, dioceses and congregations to educate and advocate for global reconciliation
  • To advocate human rights (especially for women and children), environmental justice and peacemaking to the Anglican Communion, civil society and governments wherever there are injustices

APJN representatives from 18 Provinces join in a group photograph in the Cathedral Church of the diocese of Bujumbura, Burundi. APJN members visit the site where Bishop Pie Ntukamazina and 17 companions were abducted by rebels in 2004, with Bishop Pie spending the night in a tree until being rescued the following day. A peace agreement brokered since is being slowly implemented. The Church, especially Bishop Pie, has played a quiet but crucial role in advancing the peace process. The Rev Sam Koshiiishi of Japan and Bishop Pie Ntukamzina of Burundi, play a traditional African drum during a festive moment of the APJN meeting. APJN considers reports of its members from around the Anglican Communion at the Source du Nil hotel in Bujumbura, Burundi.
